EchoX’s Best of 2021

As 2021 comes to a close, here’s a look back at a few of our proudest accomplishments. For such a small team, we were able to do so much! And while we’d love to be able to include all aspects of our work over this past year, we’d never be able to succinctly encapsulate it all in one article, so here is just a sample of our work from 2021. You can find the full collection around our site on Voices, the Directory, the Calendar, and on the DIGITIZE page.

We look forward to 2022 and the new challenges (and stories) it will bring! We’re so excited for some of the things we have planned for the new year and hope you’ll be here to experience the journey with us!
